The greatest composer since Jean Sibelius have passed away on July 27, he was 87. Here is a link of one of his composings You might have some surprise...
Sad to hear this. I love and have numerous works of his, my favourites being his Flute Concerto, the wonderful choral, orchestral On The Last Frontier and the eerie and mysterious Cantus Articus.
Sad news as he was my favourite Finnish composer. His concertos are my favourites; the mentioned Cantus Arcticus and Angel of Dusk (Double bass concerto) to name a few. He also has composed some excellent choral pieces. He certainly had a recognizable style, "weird" sounding harmonies that somehow made sense.

He didn't. A Finnish movie database site only mentions 2 filmed versions of his operas and a short documentary with "The Bog" from Cantus Arcticus and one Swedish film from 1979 with a piece called "Pelimannit".
